Drove this 11 miles of heaven yesterday for the second time, this time in an A110S with fellow A110 owners.

Just off the A5 at Ruug to the A494 at Bala - long sweeping corners, twists, turns - a perfect road for cars like the A110

Never heard / seen anyone mention it before and stumbled across it by accident last year when route planning

Look pretty good, thanks for the tip.

I rather like the B4501 from the other side of Bala up to Cerrigydrudion, so could combine them both to bypass Bala completely biggrin

That brings back memories. I last drove that road - in glorious summer sunshine - back in the mid-1990s. I must revisit it - as you say, it really is worth it.

It sounds wonderful, however how good/enjoyable was the ride up until there?

Excellent suggestions, I always pass by these on the A5 or A4212/B4391 heading for across to the higher roads.

there are some great roads around that area, i always love the drive from Lake Vyrnwy across to Bala and then the A4212 across to Trawsfynyd.

Brilliant route to that point when coming from Shropshire and keeping off the A5 wherever possible
